Alcoholism is one topic that can be difficult for people to talk about openly. This episode can be helpful for both a friend or family member as well as the person struggling with addiction. Kendra was kind enough to share her story of betrayal leading to her experience with alcoholism.  We discus what was helpful for her as she worked through the realization of wanting sobriety in her life.  This was a unique opportunity since I am the wife a person who also has a similar story. We talk about things from the two perspectives and why sometimes the normal standards on "how to get sober" do not work for everyone.  I really loved sharing the space with Kendra and hearing some of her unique but impactful ways she worked towards sobriety.

I had the pleasure to sit down with Coach and Creator of The Flow Collective,  Francesca Paschetta. We talked about letting go of others judgments, self-love and how to work with a women’s menstrual cycle to bring out your best. This conversation was very enlightening to have and I hope you walk away with some golden nuggets of information on getting closer to yourself and finding balance. Self Love Journal will be available starting August 1st, 2021 Connect with Francesca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/francesca_feminineflow/ Podcast: https://anchor.fm/francesca-paschetta Website: https://francescapaschetta.com/

More often we are hearing about how our physical health, gut and diet play a role in our mental health.

We hear about Leslie's past and what took her down this life path, the benefits of even 5 minutes of exercise while breaking down what is happening in our body that make physical movement so important.  We also dig in to the foods we eat, diet culture, and how bad foods can create mental health issues.   Connect with Leslie Stevens: https://wellbeingteam.kartra.com/page/LeslieStevensConsulting

On this episode of The Hennessy’s House Podcast, Nicole talks to the amazing Arianna Giorgio, who is a singer and a life coach. At 18 years of age, Arianna was diagnosed with terminal Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and was given 5 years to live. Two months after receiving a clear scan, the cancer had returned to her brain and she was given 1 year to live. Arianna talks about her experiences with dealing with both bouts of cancer and overcoming the second one using natural treatments, rather than medical treatments. Years later, Arianna was in a horrific car accident, disconnecting her skull from her spine. Despite this, Arianna learnt to walk and speak again and she talks about what keeps pushing her to overcome the odds. Finally, Arianna speaks about her battle with her mental health and how she dragged herself out of depression after a suicide attempt, as well as offering some valuable tips on what to do and not to do for someone who’s going through a traumatic experience.
